Been There, Done That? ...Become an eMentor

The Air Force Sergeants Association and the Air Force Association are partnering to offer mentoring services to Air Force members, AF spouses, AFA members, AFSA members and AF veterans to assist them in the civilian job search and transition process. This partnership is with the eMentor Program, an award-winning web-based program that connects transitioning military members, veterans and spouses with volunteer mentors for goal-oriented relationships. Designed to bridge the gap between employers and job seekers, the eMentor Program offers support, trusted networking, and growth opportunities through mentorship.

The first milestone is to recruit mentors from AFSA’s chapters around the world. eMentor includes a program that serves two audiences transitioning military members and veterans through the Veteran eMentor Program, and military spouses through the Military Spouse eMentor Program. Participating mentors can provide guidance and support in career transition, career advancement, work/life balance, and other veteran or military family related challenges.

The process makes it easy to become a mentor by using the established and reputable eMentor Program platform. Being a mentor requires commitment and dedication but not necessarily a lot of time. Mentors can actively and effectively work with a mentee in 60-90 minutes per month.

This mentor open enrollment period will last until December 15th.By then there should be a solid cadre of volunteer mentors and will then open the program for protege enrollment.
